the show was for this (below). I have been eyeing one of these off
for a long time and finally I have my own.
So I have been busy playing with my new toy, haven't done any
sewing yet just cutting, but boy this is addictive and sooo
fast !!
Also I have been seeing everyones blocks for the Farmers Wife Sampler
Quilt and decided to join in the fun, don't think I will be able to keep up so will
dawdle along at my own pace. So any tips from those who have already started
would be much appreciated

I have only just discovered the Farmer's Wife quilt myself. You might want to join the yahoo group 'farmerswifesampler' as they have been doing it for over a year and they have great advise. Also there is a flickr group 'The Farmers Wife Quilalong' that you might be interested in. I have done only two blocks and I am paper piecing mine I can see this being a year or two long project for me, but it should be fun.
It must have been lovely to meet up with the Bloggers
Have fun with your new toy
